A beautiful awesome life has come to an end, after almost touching a century. A treasured gift to his family, a tremendously devout Christian, a friend to the poor and needy, a wonderful human being has gone back to his master with whom he rightly belongs.
John Rebello was born on June 23, 1909 to the late Piad Rebello and Paschalia Rebello. He was a highly intelligent person and as a student his masters had stated that he was much above an average student, especially in mathematics. He lived a simple life which was hidden from the limelight. He led a much disciplined life and ended each day with the rosary. He will be remembered for his sharp intellect, generosity, charming ways and strong family bonds.
